More Information

The Acheulean industry included flakes, flake tools, cores, and other larger cutting tools. However, the Acheulean handaxes are the defining artifact of this industry. These handaxes may have been produced by two extinct species: Homo erectus and Homo heidelbergensis. These fossils are found in various sites in Africa and Asia.
